Spinal Manipulation for Acute
Back Pain

Acute low back pain – pain that lasts up to 6 weeks in
duration – responds to spinal manipulation according to a new article in the
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that reviewed published
randomized clinical trials. This review finds
that spinal manipulation delivers modest improvement in
pain and function with no serious adverse effects. (2)

JAMA also published an editorial by the prominent
medical doctor and author, Richard Deyo, MD, about spinal manipulation for back
pain incorporating Paige’s study. The editorial clarifies
that spinal manipulation treatment for acute low back pain is fitting.
Its use is in line with the American College of Physicians review and
subsequent guideline. Spinal manipulation provides modest
improvement in pain and function in the short-term compared
with sham manipulation, usual care and other treatments. And of note, Deyo points
out that, of the trials reviewed by Paige et al and
the American College of Physicians, none suggested that spinal manipulation care
was less effective than conventional medical care (drugs, rest, etc.). SMT
proved equal to or exceeded conventional care. (3)

An update to the evidence-based recommendations on the best
practices for chiropractors to follow when caring for older adults with back
pain reports that spinal manipulation contributes to the relief and overall
care of these patients. (4) So true!
